It is instantly recognisable across the world as the home of The Queen and the British Royal Family and one of the most iconic working Palaces in history. However, as the Palace’s electrical cabling, plumbing and heating have not been updated since the 1950s, in the aftermath of the Second World War, the building’s infrastructure is now in urgent need of an overhaul to avoid the very real danger of catastrophic failure leading to fire or flood, and incalculable damage to the building and priceless works of art in the Royal Collection. The Royal Household is required ‘to maintain the Occupied Royal Palaces in the United Kingdom as buildings of State, to a standard consistent with the Royal Household’s operational requirements, as well as the Royal, architectural and historic status of the buildings in a manner which ensures value for money.’1 A series of detailed technical assessments have examined the material state of the Palace, including the electrical cabling, power generation, hot and cold water pipework and data systems (fire alarms, telephones and IT). These established that elements of the Palace's essential services are significantly beyond their maximum useful life and require urgent replacement to avoid the risk of devastating failure. In order to address this urgent need, a number of options to replace the services throughout the Palace were considered by the Royal Household, in conjunction with HM Treasury. It was concluded that the most cost-effective way to replace the services, and ensure that the Palace is fit for purpose for the next 50 years, would be to undertake a phased programme of works over ten years, starting without delay in 2017 and finishing in 2027. The phased reservicing programme should be sequenced wing-by-wing so as to enable the Palace to remain occupied and fully operational, and The Queen’s Programme to continue to be delivered without interruption. Significant National events, such as the Changing of the Guard, the Trooping of the Colour, Investitures, Garden Parties and the opening of the Palace to visitors from all over the world during the summer months will also continue throughout the reservicing period. In addition to replacing the essential services, the reservicing programme includes a plan to deliver tangible benefits and efficiencies. The operational effectiveness of the Palace will be increased by making the building more energy efficient and cost-effective. There will be a significant increase in the numbers of people visiting the Palace, with a renewed focus on education, the history of the Monarchy and British citizenship. It will also offer an opportunity for a new generation of construction professionals to work on a historic building through apprenticeships and graduate programmes. All told, the reservicing programme presents a unique opportunity for innovation and investment in one of the world’s most prestigious and iconic historic buildings, preserving it for future generations. The objectives of the Programme are to: Replace the ageing core services of the Palace to eliminate the very real risk of fire or flood. Preserve the iconic Palace for future generations. Ensure Buckingham Palace remains fit for purpose as the principal residence of The Sovereign. Increase public access to the Palace. Improve the energy efficiency of the Palace. Ensure the Programme offers value-for-money. 1 “The Framework Agreement relating to the Sovereign Grant" 22 June 2012, https://www.royal.uk/sites/default/files/media/sovereign_grant_framework_agreement_-_final_for_website.pdf, (accessed 14 November 2016). Page | 1 Buckingham Palace Reservicing Programme Summary Report 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Buckingham Palace is one of the United Kingdom's most prestigious buildings. It is instantly recognisable across the world as one of the most iconic working palaces and as the home of The Queen. It is a working building, where the Sovereign carries out Her official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties as Head of State and Head of the Commonwealth. It employs over 300 staff in office accommodation and hosts over 90,000 people each year, who attend a range of events and functions from small lunches to large Receptions. This includes six Garden Parties which are held each summer at the Palace and are attended by approximately 40,000 members of the public. Over 30 investitures are also held each year at the Palace, with each one being attended by approximately 300 people including those receiving honours and their families. The Queen grants an audience to the Prime Minister each week when both are in London, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer before the presentation of the Budget. Members of the Privy Council, Foreign and British Ambassadors, High Commissioners, Bishops, senior officers of the Armed Forces and senior civil servants are also regularly received by The Queen at the Palace. In addition, over 500,000 people visit the Palace during its summer opening, and millions of UK and overseas tourists visit the gates of Buckingham Palace to witness the Changing of the Guard throughout the year. However, as elements of the Palace's plumbing, electrical cabling and heating have not been updated since shortly after the Second World War, the building's infrastructure is now in urgent need of a major overhaul to avoid the very real danger of catastrophic failure leading to fire or flood. This would result in incalculable damage to the building and/or priceless works of art in the Royal Collection. Through the Sovereign Grant, the Royal Household is required ‘to maintain the Occupied Royal Palaces as buildings of State, to a standard consistent with the Royal Household’s operational requirements, and with the royal, architectural and historic status of the buildings in a manner which ensures value for money.’ A series of detailed technical assessments have been undertaken to examine the material state of Buckingham Palace, including the electrical cabling, power generation, heating systems and pipework, hot and cold water pipework and data systems (fire alarms, telephones and IT). These assessments established that elements of the Palace's essential services are significantly beyond their maximum useful life and require urgent replacement. In order to address this urgent need, a number of options to replace the services throughout the Palace have been considered by the Programme Board (The Board). The Board has recommended to the Lord Chamberlain's Committee (LCC) that the most cost-effective way to replace the services, and ensure that the Palace is fit for purpose for the next 50 years and the next three generations of the Monarchy, would be to undertake a phased programme of works, over ten years starting in April 2017. The phased reservicing programme should be sequenced wing-by-wing so as to enable the Palace to remain occupied and fully operational, and allow The Queen's Programme to continue to be delivered without interruption. Significant National events, such as the Changing of the Guard, the State Opening of Parliament, the Trooping of the Colour, Investitures, Garden Parties and the opening of the Palace to visitors from all over the world during the summer months will also continue throughout the reservicing period. In addition to replacing the essential services, the reservicing programme includes a plan to deliver tangible benefits and efficiencies. The operational effectiveness of the Palace will be increased by making the building more energy efficient and cost-effective. There will be a significant increase in the number of people visiting the Palace, with increased access for schools and the opportunity to focus on the history of the Monarchy and British citizenship. It will also offer an opportunity for a new generation of construction professionals to work on a historic building through apprenticeships and graduate programmes. Page | 2 Buckingham Palace Reservicing Programme Summary Report 2.1 THE CONDITION OF THE PALACE AND RESERVICING REQUIREMENT. The technical assessments established that there are a series of very old (over 60 years), fragile systems with a high risk of failure which need to be replaced as a matter of urgency over the next two years (2017-19). These include Vulcanised India Rubber electrical cabling, electrical panels, distribution boards, generators, boilers, drainage pipework and data systems. Not carrying out these works would come with significant risks, including: Fire. A significant proportion of the wiring within the Palace is in a high risk category and needs immediate attention to reduce the very real risk of fire and failure.

  • The Prerogative and Environmental Control of London Building in the Early Seventeenth Century: the Lost Opportunity
    The Prerogative and Environmental Control of London Building in the Early Seventeenth Century: The Lost Opportunity Thomas G. Barnes* "What experience and history teach is this-that people and governments never have learned anything from history or or acted on principles deducted from it." Undaunted by Hegel's pessimism, Professor Barnes demonstrates that our current concern for the environment is not as new as we might suppose. The most considerable, continuous, and best docu- mented experiment in environmental control in the Common Law tradition was conducted before the middle of the seventeenth century. An almost accidental circumstance determined that this experiment would become a lost opportunity. Now if great Cities are naturally apt to remove their Seats, I ask which way? I say, in the case of London, it must be West- ward, because the Windes blowing near . [three-fourths] of the year from the West, the dwellings of the West end are so much the more free from the fumes, steams, and stinks of the whole Easterly Pyle; which where Seacoal is burnt is a great matter. Now if [it] follow from hence, that the Pallaces of the greatest men will remove Westward, it will also naturally fol- low, that the dwellings of others who depend upon them will creep after them. This we see in London, where the Noble- mens ancient houses are now become Halls for Companies, or turned into Tenements, and all the Pallaces are gotten West- ward; Insomuch, as I do not doubt but that five hundred years hence, the King's Pallace will be near Chelsey, and the old building of Whitehall converted to uses more answerable to their quality, .

  • The Politics of Architecture in Tudor and Stuart London Transcript
    The Politics of Architecture in Tudor and Stuart London Transcript Date: Thursday, 11 February 2010 - 12:00AM Location: Museum of London The Politics of Architecture in Tudor and Stuart London Professor Simon Thurley Visiting Gresham Professor of the Built Environment 11/12/2010 Tonight, and again on the 11 March, I will be looking at the interrelation of architecture and power. The power of kings and the power of government and how that power has affected London. On the 11th I will be looking at Victorian and Edwardian London but tonight I'm going to concentrate on the sixteenth and seventeenth century and show how Tudor and Stuart Monarchs used, with varying degrees of success, the great buildings of the City of London to bolster their power. The story of royal buildings in the City starts with the Saxons. Before 1052 English Kings had had a palace in London at Aldermanbury, but principally to avoid the instability, turbulence and violence of the populace Edward the Confessor, the penultimate English King, had moved his royal palace one and a half miles west to an Island called Thorney. On Thorney Island the Confessor built the great royal abbey and palace of Westminster. And it was here, that William the Conqueror chose to be crowned on Christmas day 1066, safely away from the still hostile inhabitants of the city. London was too big, powerful and independent to be much influenced by the Norman Conquest. Business continued unabated under a deal done between the city rulers and their new king. However William left a major legacy by establishing the metropolitan geography of the English monarchy - the subject of my talk this evening.

  • The Jubilee Walkway. Section 5 of 5
    Transport for London. The Jubilee Walkway. Section 5 of 5. The Jubilee Loop (anti-clockwise). Start and finish: The Jubilee Walkway panel (on the south side of Trafalgar Square). Nearest station: Charing Cross . Section distance: 2 miles (3 kilometres). Introduction. This is a circular walk in the heart of London linking the institutions of The Monarchy and the Government. This section of the Jubilee Walkway connects with section one at Trafalgar Square and at Great George Street. Look out for the Jubilee Walkway discs in the pavement as you go round. Directions. This walk starts from Trafalgar Square. Did you know? Trafalgar Square was laid out in 1840 by Sir Charles Barry, architect of the new Houses of Parliament. The square, which is now a 'World Square', is a place for national rejoicing, celebrations and demonstrations. It is dominated by Nelson's Column with the 18-foot statue of Lord Nelson standing on top of the 171-foot column. It was erected in honour of his victory at Trafalgar. With Trafalgar Square behind you and keeping Canada House on the right, cross Cockspur Street and keep right. Go around the corner, passing the Ugandan High Commission to enter The Mall under the large stone Admiralty Arch - go through the right arch. Keep on the right-hand side of the broad avenue that is The Mall. Did you know? Admiralty Arch is the gateway between The Mall, which extends southwest, and Trafalgar Square to the northeast. The Mall was laid out as an avenue between 1660-1662 as part of Charles II's scheme for St James's Park.

It replaced an oval device, which had been in use since the turn of the twentieth century, on the recommendation of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services). The portcullis probably came to be associated with the Palace of Westminster through its use, along with Tudor roses, fleurs-de-lys and pomegranates, as decoration in the rebuilding of the Palace after the fire of 1512.

  • The Old War Office Building
    MINISTRY OF DEFENCE The Old War Office Building A history The Old War Office Building …a building full of history Foreword by the Rt. Hon Geoff Hoon MP, Secretary of State for Defence The Old War Office Building has been a Whitehall landmark for nearly a century. No-one can fail to be impressed by its imposing Edwardian Baroque exterior and splendidly restored rooms and stairways. With the long-overdue modernisation of the MOD Main Building, Defence Ministers and other members of the Defence Council – the Department’s senior committee – have moved temporarily to the Old War Office. To mark the occasion I have asked for this short booklet, describing the history of the Old War Office Building, to be published. The booklet also includes a brief history of the site on which the building now stands, and of other historic MOD headquarters buildings in Central London. People know about the work that our Armed Forces do around the world as a force for good. Less well known is the work that we do to preserve our heritage and to look after the historic buildings that we occupy. I hope that this publication will help to raise awareness of that. The Old War Office Building has had a fascinating past, as you will see. People working within its walls played a key role in two World Wars and in the Cold War that followed. The building is full of history. Lawrence of Arabia once worked here. I am now occupying the office which Churchill, Lloyd-George and Profumo once had.

  • Buckingham Palace
    BUCKINGHAM PALACE Buckingham Palace is the working headquarters of the monarchy, where The Queen carries out her official and ceremonial duties as Head of State of the United Kingdom and Head of the Commonwealth. It is one of the few remaining working royal palaces in the world today. The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh live in the private apartments on the north side of the Palace. Rooms on the upper floors of the north and east sides are occupied by other members of the Royal Family. Much of the ground floor and the south wing of the Palace are used by Household officials. The State Rooms used for court ceremonies and official entertaining occupy the main west block facing the gardens. The Queen receives a large number of formal and informal visitors to the Palace, including the Prime Minister at weekly audiences. Investitures regularly take place in the Ballroom and more than 50,000 people visit the Palace each year as guests to banquets, lunches, dinners, receptions and the royal garden parties which are attended by some 30,000 guests. The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are the Palace’s longest residents. In 1993 The Queen gave approval for Buckingham Palace to open its doors to the paying public for the first time to raise funds for the restoration of Windsor Castle following the fire of November 1992. The 19 State Rooms are open to the public annually as part of the Buckingham Palace Summer Opening. The Kings and Queens who shaped the Palace James I (r.1603-1625) The architectural history of the site can be traced back to the reign of James I who established a plantation of mulberries for the rearing of silkworms.
